ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 6, 2025

My hockey career’s final chapter is writing itself. I’m thirty-five now, and with retirement looming, I’m desperate to make this season count—even if it means playing in L.A., the last city I ever wanted to call home.

Then Billie crashes into my life.

She’s sunshine personified—more than ten years younger and my teammate’s little sister.

Every instinct screams she’s forbidden territory.

But one taste of her changes everything.

The chemistry between us is undeniable, explosive.

I know I should walk away, but I can’t.

If her brother discovers us, I stand to lose more than just her—my career could end before I’m ready to hang up my skates.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date May 29, 2025

Falling for her is a risk I shouldn’t be willing to take… but I didn’t get to the top of my game my backing down.

Ten years, three kids, and what I thought was unshakable marriage—until she slept with one of my teammates. The divorce left me reeling.

Trust isn’t something I give freely anymore.

Now, all that matters is fighting for custody of my kids, while my ex tries to take them and move across the country.

The last thing I need is someone like Stevie: A stunning model with a troubled past, no interest in kids, and baggage even heavier than mine.

One dance at a wedding changed everything. I can’t get this woman out of my head.

I’m not looking for more complications, but walking away from her isn’t an option either.

Not when I can’t tell where I stop and she starts…or if playing dirty is my only shot at making her mine.

ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date February 20, 2025

Turning thirty shouldn’t be a big deal—unless you’re a minor league hockey player starting to realize the big leagues might never call. It’s a tough pill to swallow.

But then, out of nowhere, I get my shot. The L.A. Phantoms are in the playoffs for the first time in decades, and with their roster decimated by injuries, they call me up.

I’m ready to warm the bench, but with a solid season behind me, they’re willing to give me some ice time. This is the chance of a lifetime. Until she walks in.

My first love. The one I never forgot.

But dating her could risk everything we’ve both worked for.

How are we supposed to choose between the future we’ve dreamed of and the past we never let go of?
